I was just waking from my short slumber. The tree was still the way i remembered it; the trunk curved to my back and the branch also had curve that felt almost like a hammac. the house was shaped like a piece of a castle. the tower was occupied with my sister getting everything ready for when our friends came over. i personally didn't care, since she wanted me out of the house, i was free to be in nature as i pleased. the breeze was gentle and the air smelled of the morn's sunrise. i smiled as if i'd never seen the morn before. it was different for me now. i didn't have any electronics, no inside rules, no limit to where my mind wanted to wander. i was free. the grass still getting the snow off it's head, almost had a warm feel to it again.
i looked down to see that one of my friends had been standing in the snow-covered grass, a smile across their face. they were waiting and i wasn't going to oblige. i just nodded a formal nod and climbed higher into the tree. they shook thier head and sat on the one spot of the yard that didn't have ice on it. i knew all to well what was going to happen. thankfully, my mother came out and pulled them into the house and then came back for me. naturally i had to get down since she was my mom and she was stressed already. so once i reached a safe distance, i jumped to the ground landing on my feet, almost in a crouched position. i walked into the warm house, baregoot and i instantly started to overheat. i went to my room and changed.
i came out in new pair of clothes and everyone had arrived. i gave my usual smile and socialized til my sister thought it was nessarcy to move to the attic. i didn't like going up into the attic during thsi time of the year. it just remindedme i wasn't allowed on the roof til the weather was warmer and the ice was completely melted. so i help my mom clean the dishes and headed back to the computer room to check my emails. naturally, my biological mom was concerned about me. the normal question flowed over the email and i responded the way i normally did and gave a brief discription of every question she asked. once that was done i got bored. so i went to the living room and started watching titan a.e.. after about an hour into the movie, my mom's boyfriend came over and they went to the bar two doors down. i finished the movie as my sister came down the stairs. she was breathless and told me i should join them in the attic. i told her i was fine and she knew the reason i avoided the attic at this time of the year. she pouted and went back to our friends.
a couple hours later our friends went home and my sister gave me her a knowing smile. i just rolled my eyes and grabbed the shopping list and said i'd be back. so at the store i went through all my normal aisles trying to find everything that mom wanted for a basic pizza. i got confused on a few ingridents so i gave up and bought a frozen pizza. before i had a chance to leave the store, my sister's ex caught me and we talked for a couple minutes. he offered to walk me home but since i was known to be a loner, i kept true to my reputation only for this moment. i wasn't about to have another arguement about him walking me home. he came anyway. this was hard since i had to fake a smile, a laugh, the entire time. sure it was only five minutes but what could you do? so we parted once the house was in the line of vision.
so once i get inside, not only did i have to deal with the ex, i now had to deal with my sister and her current. they were watching some mushy movie. i left the pizza on the counter and headed back to my room. it was too warm. the fan was on, the ac was on, it was still too hot for me. i'd become accustomed to a tempature below 50 so anything above was warm or hot. i fell back on the bed and their was a body. not human, just the cat. i got scratched across the face and i'd already gained three scars since i'd arrived a couple months earlier so it didn't bother me. i moved the cat to the side so i could lay down. i took a slow breathe out and just let the night take me. well the night was interuppted by a knocking on the door then it opening. my sister had said bye to her boyfriend and was now going to get her revenge from earlier today. so we talked for hours on end. til the sun rose agian and someone pulled into the drive way. my sister climbed over my bed to see who it was and smiled to herself. that could only mean one thing...and wait for it...
